Not so much a general sports blog as an irregularly updated desperate plea for help.

Weight loss update

Fourteen months into my commitment to health, diet and fitness, I've lost 65 pounds (319 to 254) and cut my body-fat percentage by nearly half (43 per cent to 23 per cent!).

Thanks to everyone for their support. Undying thanks to the three great trainer at GoodLife Fitness, Danielle Barkhouse, Erika Blais and especially Janet Alexander. They've made working out fun and only a little painful.

Next challenge is the South Ottawa Raceday on Sept. 30, already signed up for my second 5K. Also plan on tackling my first 10K on Father's Day 2013 at the Alterna Ultimate Run.

Incidentally, I am posting personal posts over at my new Tumblr, Drive-By Arguments.

Well, now I feel like a jerk! Yeah, we've joked about that. First I was coming back as an O-lineman, then it was D-line ... some are joking D-back, but I think blocking back/special teamer is all I can hope for now. My hands are too small to long-snap.
